Basic Statistics for Economy is a 4-credit Generic Elective (GE) offered by the Department of Economics under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a statistics-for-economics GE (as listed in the DU GE pool and reflected in the PYQ header 'Basic Statistics for Economy GE PYQ 2025 - Paper 1' on cdn.sulaksh.online). As per the syllabus copy available via the student CDN and the PYQ question paper structure at qb.exam.du.ac.in, the course covers Unit I descriptive statistics (central tendency/dispersion), Unit II probability distributions, Unit III correlation/regression and Unit IV index numbers/time series — with 90 marks theory plus 30 internal as per the PYQ cover (PYQ shows 90+30+40 pattern for GE Economics paper codes). The official DU Economics GE syllabus PDF is not separately hosted on academicaffairs for this title in the 2022 bundle, so we cite the CDN PYQ and department handout as cdn-only, with the structure cross-verified against the live GE Economics pool listing (2022-23). Examination follows the University's 90 (theory) +30 (internal) pattern shown on the PYQ, though the syllabus PDF itself states 'as per guidelines notified'. Students lose marks by writing manual calculation without showing formula and by missing index-number interpretation, which carries 10 marks (as of 12 Sept 2026).
